ATgrllblD SurgiCdOpGTai0l
+. \ Fatal, MISTAKE.

THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
Eshed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "an gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration- There
was constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had q cancer IN the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DIR. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwen Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad II
must DE for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of &
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
IL this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution {fol
this was what the disease really
wasy, she woul5 have been iv

A Food For Dyspeptics.

Dyspepsia is failure to digest. When the
stomach refuses to take ordinary food, resort
must be had to such forms of predigested food
as are palatable and can be readily obtained
and prepared. Nothing fully meets this
want as Lactated Food. 1t is delicious pre-
paration, perfectly adapted to every dyspeptic
or invalid.

A Long Fast.

jackson, Tenn, May 30.-This is the
seventy-ninth day since Capt. VIM. Murchi-
sen, of Medon, has taken any drink or
nourishment of any kind. He still retains
his mental faculties perfectly, and will not
allow physicians to prescribe for him, as he
knows they can not relieve him, and he
prefers not to be tantalized with efforts to
restore him. The attack came on at night.
He had eaten supper and retired as usual,
when, about ii o'clock, he awakened quite
thirsty, took drink of water, and went to
sleep again, and in few hours he swak-
ened again thirsty, and in attempting to
take drink of water found his throat was
paralyzed and that he could not swallow,
since which time he has not been able to
swallow anything. He had suffered par
tial stroke of paralysis previous to this
time. Capt. Murchison is about 90 years
of age. He is no crank, as has been sup
posed, but his fast is the result of disease,
and the several physicians of this city who
have visited him all regard his case with
deep interest as one of the most extrsordI-
nary on record. He was formerly in bust
ness in this city, and has no family. At
this time he is very feeble and can not live
much longer.

The Mason Case.

The trial of the suit against Ed
ward Mason, brought by A. c. AL
bright, of St. Louis for the firm of
Wycoff, Seaman & Benedict, a type
writer manufacturing firm of New
York, occupied the attention of JUS
tice Fishers court yesterday after
noon. The testimony of the several
witnesses, pro and con, seemed to in.
dictate that a business misunderstood.
ing existed between the parties.
Mason sold type-writers on commits
sion, and in settling for the last one
disposed of by him, a difference was
claimed by the St. Louis representa-
tive of the manufacturers in their
favor. Justice Fisher took the whole
matter under advisement until this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The Justice went over the evidence
this afternoon, and basing his decision
on the case of the State of Missouri,
respondent, VS.. B. j. Kelley, appel
liant, in the Fourth Missouri reports,
discharged Mason.

man, who was sent to Sing Sing for life
for committing double murder thirty
two years age. On the night of the kill

Fort Greene. Several members OF no

er and then began to assault him. He drew
q knife and inflicted fatal injuries upon
two of his ASSISTANTS. A number Of philan-
thropic citizens are moving to secure Cor
mans release, as they believe that he has
been sufficiently punished for the ofense
that he committed.

hung the man of dough up to tree
for the birds to eat. The Turks, too,
had a pleasant way of dealing with
bakers who sold slight weight" They
were nailed up by their ears to the
doors of their shops till they had an
approximate idea of weights. when
they were let down and soundly bas-
tinadoed upon the soles of their
feet.
In many countries the sale of bread
is regulated by law as a depotisn can
never be sustained by subjects with
empty stomachs. No one knew this
better than the Napoleon, and he
exercised the most rigid surveillance
over the bakers in times of scarcity
and want.
The baking business seems to be one
of the most remunerative extant. 1t
is seldom that baker, who closely at
tends to his business fails to get rich
within a reasonable course of time.
This fact is general throughout the
United States, and demonstrates that
large profits must be realized.

He Swallowed an Orange Seed.

Brooklyn, N. Y, June 1.-Mr. III. l..
Chat6eld. of this city, whose death took
place at his home yesterday, was injured
in very remarkable way. He ate an
orange some time ago and one of the seeds
lodged in the appendix valve of his bowels,
producing abscess and final death. This
valve is located between the upper
and lower intestines, and is
about the sixteenth of an inch in
diameter. The seed lodged at the bottom
Of the valve, producing Inflammation. He
had been complaining for two months past
of dull, heavy pain in his right side and
extending to the small of his back. In
speaking about it to his friends he would
say, 81 guess i have little kidney trouble"
This was his own superstition. On May
IA he was advised by friend to see
a physician and he called upon DIR. Ever
son, of Dufield street. The doctor order
ed him to bed. Last week the pain became
intense and DIR. Everson called in DR.. Col
ton and Dr. George K. Smith for consulta-
ton. Friday they were called in again,
with the addition of DR.. Gil6llan. DIR.
Everson, assisted by the other surgeons,
performed the operation of drawing
off the pus from the abscess, which they
found deep-seated. Saturday afternoon
they performed another opera
ton, cutting into the abscess. The patient
died fifteen hours afterwards from ex-
haustion. Yesterday afternoon the sur
gems performed an autopsy and found an
orange seed imbedded In the appendix
valve.
Mr.. Chatfeld was connected with dry
goods firm on Fulton street, Brooklyn. De-
ceased was relative of Lionel Brough,
the comedian, who was in America with
the Violet Cameron troupe.

A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE.
Fighting i'm the Dark With an
Escaped Prisoner.

Lincoln, Neb., June IA man named
GleDan has been cos6ned in Jail here and
his wife has applied for divorce. The case
was to be called in the district court yes
terday. Constable Jacoby was charged to
tell Mrs. Glenan to make her appearance
either on Monday or Tuesday. Il was late
when the constable arrived at the house,
and the rain began to fall, so he concluded
to wait
Meanwhile Glenan had effected his es-
cape from Jail and made for home. He ar
rived about 9 o'clock and found the
constable's team hitched outside. He cut
the horses loose, started them for home and
proceeded to stone the house, knocking out
sill the windows and severely injuring his
wife and two children. Constable Jscoby
emptied the chambers of his re-
volver at Glenan without effect. Ii was
then pitch dark. He grapplsd with his
man, however, receiving at the time ter
rible blow over the head from n club.
Here q struggle for life began, which end
ed mile from the house and lasted all
through the darkness and rain until
o'clock in the morning. Both were power
full men and of equal nerve. The result
was that Jacoby's skull was fractured and
his face was beaten and bruised beyond
recognition. 1t will be impossible for him
to recover. Glenan is badly used up, but
his Injuries are not fatal. One of his chill.
dren will die from the effects of being bi
by a stone thrown through the window
by him.

O'ROSSA'S DEBT.

Ian, of Kansas City, in O'Donovan Rosa's
Office In this city, is now In the Skin and

where he has been confined all the winter
after undergoing painful surgical op-
Grafton. Short has written letter to the
Council of the Fenian Brotherhood, APP
pealing for aid for himself and family
The council has embodied the letter in q
circular addressed to Irish Nationalist, in
which it says: "In acting upon the sug-
gestion which il contains we feel that we
are only doing . duty incumbent upon US,
for Richard Short deserves more than
and here, in the Irish revolutionary
cause. He sacrificed lucrative
business and comfortable home In Ire
land for that cause, and, as you all know,
he did not abandon the good work here"
Short. In his letter, after saying that he
had been in the hospital for twelve months
and has received generous assistance from
the members of the Brotherhood, con-
tinues 81 have often thought that this
continuous tax must come heavy on some
of you and that it should not be necessary

erhood, O'Donovan Rosa, ewes me SlS5
sent to him for me and acknowledged in
his paper for me. The total amount
which be acknowledged having received
on that testimonial was S5S5.25; of this
sum it took me seven months to get $3.50
in twelve instalments, equal to $50 a
month or SIP week-just enough to keep
my family going. While / vas
in the hospital undergoing the most pain
full surgical operations, my wife; with
her young baby in her arms, called upon
him and asked for some of the balance of
this money, but could not induce him by
argument or appeal to turn it over to her.
although she was sister of dead patriot
who gave up his young life in a British
prison for his country. She and her little
baby were at this time without food or FIRE,
and ii was mid-winter"
The circular continues: 1.-THE sister of

in a British prison, and Richard Short
himself certainly deserved better treat

The Recorders Lot.

The applicants for licenses to wed
are closely questioned by the recorder,
where he has any doubts as to the ages
of the parties, or some other question
arises in which proof is wanted.
Thomas Phillips and Eliza j. Ruby,
both of this county, called on him this
afternoon for a license. The girl, who
said she was sixteen, was accompanied
by an elderly female, who said she
raised Eliza, but wasn't her mother.
The recorder, after asking a number
of questions, declined to issue license
until better proof was produced in re-
gard to the girl and her estate, if she
had any or had none, and other par
ticulars absolutely necessary to pro-
tect an official in the issuance of SO
important a document as q marriage
license. The young couple went off,
looking for a notary to make the re-
auired affidavit.

strikes involving questions of unionism
and wages.
